FACTORS AFFECTING SOIL SALINITY

The accumula tion of soil salinity is a consequence f a variet pro esses some of which are illu trated in Fig 10-1 In arid and semian

fl areas for example where pre ipitation is less than evaporation salts lJ accumulate at the soil surface when the depth to the water table is I t r

than 1 to 15 m depend ing on the soil texture The accumulation of salts 11 r

the soil surface is the consequence of the upward flow of water and ur sequent transport of salts due to capillary rise driv n by the evaporatill p rocess However the most common ca use for the accumulation of ai DIRE is ET by plants w hich results in an increase in salt concentra tion IIi depth through the roo tzone (see graph in Fig 10-1) and th accumulatil Till

of salts below the rootzone The lev I of salt accumulation within an (lrator

below th r otzone due to ET depends on the fraction of irrigation or prl Ii I ir flwnt (

water content of a saturation paste is roughly twice the field capilotl most soils Fu rthenn re ECe has been the standard measure of used in sal t-to l rance plant studies Most data on the alt tolernn crops have been expressed in terms of the EC of the saturation extract (Bre I r tal 1982 Maas 1986)

U11for ttmately the pa r ti tioning af solutes over the three soil (gas liqu id solid) is in fl uenced by the soil-to-water ratio at whicr extract is made so the ratio needs to be standardized to obtain resultt can be applied and interp reted universally Commonly lIsed rabos other than a sa turated soil paste are 1 1 1 2 and 1 5 soil-to- m ix tures The e tracts are easier to p repare than saturation r extracts With the xception of sandy soils soils containing gypsum organ ic soil the concentrations of salt and individual ions are appn ma tely diluted by about the sam ra tio between field conditions aI d extract for all -amples which allows conversions between water coni u ing d ilution fa ctors The conversion of EC from one extract to ano commonly done using a simple dilution factor For example if the ~r metric saturation percentage (SP) is 100 then ECe = ECll = 5 EC if SF = 5010 then ECe = 2 ECl1 = 10middot EC5 However th is is not r~ mended because of potential dissolution-pr cipitation reactions that occur At best the use of a d ilu tion factor to convert from One extra another is an approximation_

Any d ilution above field water contents introduces errors in the in~ preta tion of data The greater the dilution is the greater the devia between ionic ratios in the sample and the soil solution under field cor tions These errors are associated with m ineral dissolution ion hydn sis and changes in exchangeabl ca tion ratios In particular soil samr con taining gypsum deviate the most because the calcium (Ca) and sull concentra tion rem ain nearly constant with silmple dilution while the centra tions of other ions decrease with dilution The standardized re tionship between the extract and the conditions of the soil solu tion in ~ field for different soils is not applicable with the use of soil-to-wJk abo e saturation However the recent development of Extract Crem Sl~ ware by Suarez and Taber (2007) illlows for the accurate conversion f one extract ratio to another p rovided sufficient chemica l informati n known (for example knowledg of the major cations ilnd anions an p resence absen e of gypsum) Th disadvantage of determining ~ salinity using a soil sample i th time and labor required which tran lates into high cost However there is no more accurate way of meaSl1 ([1 soil salini ty than with extracts from soil samples

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

FACTORS AFFECTING SOIL SALINITY

The accumula tion of soil salinity is a consequence f a variet pro esses some of which are illu trated in Fig 10-1 In arid and semian

than 1 to 15 m depend ing on the soil texture The accumulation of salts 11 r

the soil surface is the consequence of the upward flow of water and ur sequent transport of salts due to capillary rise driv n by the evaporatill p rocess However the most common ca use for the accumulation of ai DIRE is ET by plants w hich results in an increase in salt concentra tion IIi depth through the roo tzone (see graph in Fig 10-1) and th accumulatil Till

of salts below the rootzone The lev I of salt accumulation within an (lrator

water content of a saturation paste is roughly twice the field capilotl most soils Fu rthenn re ECe has been the standard measure of used in sal t-to l rance plant studies Most data on the alt tolernn crops have been expressed in terms of the EC of the saturation extract (Bre I r tal 1982 Maas 1986)

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

U11for ttmately the pa r ti tioning af solutes over the three soil (gas liqu id solid) is in fl uenced by the soil-to-water ratio at whicr extract is made so the ratio needs to be standardized to obtain resultt can be applied and interp reted universally Commonly lIsed rabos other than a sa turated soil paste are 1 1 1 2 and 1 5 soil-to- m ix tures The e tracts are easier to p repare than saturation r extracts With the xception of sandy soils soils containing gypsum organ ic soil the concentrations of salt and individual ions are appn ma tely diluted by about the sam ra tio between field conditions aI d extract for all -amples which allows conversions between water coni u ing d ilution fa ctors The conversion of EC from one extract to ano commonly done using a simple dilution factor For example if the ~r metric saturation percentage (SP) is 100 then ECe = ECll = 5 EC if SF = 5010 then ECe = 2 ECl1 = 10middot EC5 However th is is not r~ mended because of potential dissolution-pr cipitation reactions that occur At best the use of a d ilu tion factor to convert from One extra another is an approximation_

Any d ilution above field water contents introduces errors in the in~ preta tion of data The greater the dilution is the greater the devia between ionic ratios in the sample and the soil solution under field cor tions These errors are associated with m ineral dissolution ion hydn sis and changes in exchangeabl ca tion ratios In particular soil samr con taining gypsum deviate the most because the calcium (Ca) and sull concentra tion rem ain nearly constant with silmple dilution while the centra tions of other ions decrease with dilution The standardized re tionship between the extract and the conditions of the soil solu tion in ~ field for different soils is not applicable with the use of soil-to-wJk abo e saturation However the recent development of Extract Crem Sl~ ware by Suarez and Taber (2007) illlows for the accurate conversion f one extract ratio to another p rovided sufficient chemica l informati n known (for example knowledg of the major cations ilnd anions an p resence absen e of gypsum) Th disadvantage of determining ~ salinity using a soil sample i th time and labor required which tran lates into high cost However there is no more accurate way of meaSl1 ([1 soil salini ty than with extracts from soil samples

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

U11for ttmately the pa r ti tioning af solutes over the three soil (gas liqu id solid) is in fl uenced by the soil-to-water ratio at whicr extract is made so the ratio needs to be standardized to obtain resultt can be applied and interp reted universally Commonly lIsed rabos other than a sa turated soil paste are 1 1 1 2 and 1 5 soil-to- m ix tures The e tracts are easier to p repare than saturation r extracts With the xception of sandy soils soils containing gypsum organ ic soil the concentrations of salt and individual ions are appn ma tely diluted by about the sam ra tio between field conditions aI d extract for all -amples which allows conversions between water coni u ing d ilution fa ctors The conversion of EC from one extract to ano commonly done using a simple dilution factor For example if the ~r metric saturation percentage (SP) is 100 then ECe = ECll = 5 EC if SF = 5010 then ECe = 2 ECl1 = 10middot EC5 However th is is not r~ mended because of potential dissolution-pr cipitation reactions that occur At best the use of a d ilu tion factor to convert from One extra another is an approximation_

Any d ilution above field water contents introduces errors in the in~ preta tion of data The greater the dilution is the greater the devia between ionic ratios in the sample and the soil solution under field cor tions These errors are associated with m ineral dissolution ion hydn sis and changes in exchangeabl ca tion ratios In particular soil samr con taining gypsum deviate the most because the calcium (Ca) and sull concentra tion rem ain nearly constant with silmple dilution while the centra tions of other ions decrease with dilution The standardized re tionship between the extract and the conditions of the soil solu tion in ~ field for different soils is not applicable with the use of soil-to-wJk abo e saturation However the recent development of Extract Crem Sl~ ware by Suarez and Taber (2007) illlows for the accurate conversion f one extract ratio to another p rovided sufficient chemica l informati n known (for example knowledg of the major cations ilnd anions an p resence absen e of gypsum) Th disadvantage of determining ~ salinity using a soil sample i th time and labor required which tran lates into high cost However there is no more accurate way of meaSl1 ([1 soil salini ty than with extracts from soil samples

Other four-electrode configurations are frequently used as disclL by Burger (1992) Dobrin (1960) and Telford et al (1990) The influe of the interelectrode configuration and distance on ECa is reflected middot Eq10-6

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

water content of a saturation paste is roughly twice the field capilotl most soils Fu rthenn re ECe has been the standard measure of used in sal t-to l rance plant studies Most data on the alt tolernn crops have been expressed in terms of the EC of the saturation extract (Bre I r tal 1982 Maas 1986)

U11for ttmately the pa r ti tioning af solutes over the three soil (gas liqu id solid) is in fl uenced by the soil-to-water ratio at whicr extract is made so the ratio needs to be standardized to obtain resultt can be applied and interp reted universally Commonly lIsed rabos other than a sa turated soil paste are 1 1 1 2 and 1 5 soil-to- m ix tures The e tracts are easier to p repare than saturation r extracts With the xception of sandy soils soils containing gypsum organ ic soil the concentrations of salt and individual ions are appn ma tely diluted by about the sam ra tio between field conditions aI d extract for all -amples which allows conversions between water coni u ing d ilution fa ctors The conversion of EC from one extract to ano commonly done using a simple dilution factor For example if the ~r metric saturation percentage (SP) is 100 then ECe = ECll = 5 EC if SF = 5010 then ECe = 2 ECl1 = 10middot EC5 However th is is not r~ mended because of potential dissolution-pr cipitation reactions that occur At best the use of a d ilu tion factor to convert from One extra another is an approximation_

Any d ilution above field water contents introduces errors in the in~ preta tion of data The greater the dilution is the greater the devia between ionic ratios in the sample and the soil solution under field cor tions These errors are associated with m ineral dissolution ion hydn sis and changes in exchangeabl ca tion ratios In particular soil samr con taining gypsum deviate the most because the calcium (Ca) and sull concentra tion rem ain nearly constant with silmple dilution while the centra tions of other ions decrease with dilution The standardized re tionship between the extract and the conditions of the soil solu tion in ~ field for different soils is not applicable with the use of soil-to-wJk abo e saturation However the recent development of Extract Crem Sl~ ware by Suarez and Taber (2007) illlows for the accurate conversion f one extract ratio to another p rovided sufficient chemica l informati n known (for example knowledg of the major cations ilnd anions an p resence absen e of gypsum) Th disadvantage of determining ~ salinity using a soil sample i th time and labor required which tran lates into high cost However there is no more accurate way of meaSl1 ([1 soil salini ty than with extracts from soil samples

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

Independen t validation data Prediction errors for test data can be much larger than training errors

Multiple years of images Nonsoil factors can heavily influence reflectance in anyone year but will tend to average out over multiple years

water content of a saturation paste is roughly twice the field capilotl most soils Fu rthenn re ECe has been the standard measure of used in sal t-to l rance plant studies Most data on the alt tolernn crops have been expressed in terms of the EC of the saturation extract (Bre I r tal 1982 Maas 1986)

U11for ttmately the pa r ti tioning af solutes over the three soil (gas liqu id solid) is in fl uenced by the soil-to-water ratio at whicr extract is made so the ratio needs to be standardized to obtain resultt can be applied and interp reted universally Commonly lIsed rabos other than a sa turated soil paste are 1 1 1 2 and 1 5 soil-to- m ix tures The e tracts are easier to p repare than saturation r extracts With the xception of sandy soils soils containing gypsum organ ic soil the concentrations of salt and individual ions are appn ma tely diluted by about the sam ra tio between field conditions aI d extract for all -amples which allows conversions between water coni u ing d ilution fa ctors The conversion of EC from one extract to ano commonly done using a simple dilution factor For example if the ~r metric saturation percentage (SP) is 100 then ECe = ECll = 5 EC if SF = 5010 then ECe = 2 ECl1 = 10middot EC5 However th is is not r~ mended because of potential dissolution-pr cipitation reactions that occur At best the use of a d ilu tion factor to convert from One extra another is an approximation_

Any d ilution above field water contents introduces errors in the in~ preta tion of data The greater the dilution is the greater the devia between ionic ratios in the sample and the soil solution under field cor tions These errors are associated with m ineral dissolution ion hydn sis and changes in exchangeabl ca tion ratios In particular soil samr con taining gypsum deviate the most because the calcium (Ca) and sull concentra tion rem ain nearly constant with silmple dilution while the centra tions of other ions decrease with dilution The standardized re tionship between the extract and the conditions of the soil solu tion in ~ field for different soils is not applicable with the use of soil-to-wJk abo e saturation However the recent development of Extract Crem Sl~ ware by Suarez and Taber (2007) illlows for the accurate conversion f one extract ratio to another p rovided sufficient chemica l informati n known (for example knowledg of the major cations ilnd anions an p resence absen e of gypsum) Th disadvantage of determining ~ salinity using a soil sample i th time and labor required which tran lates into high cost However there is no more accurate way of meaSl1 ([1 soil salini ty than with extracts from soil samples

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

ing soil salLnity at Geld cale requires a rapid reliab le easy metht taking geospatia l measurements The us of soil samples to m (Jshy

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

The ability to obtain the EC of a soil solution when the water content at or less than field capacity wh ich are the water ca nt nt5 most co monly found in the field is considerably more d ifficult than extract il water c ntents at or above saturation because of the pre ure or suclil r quiJed to remove the soil solution at field capacity and lower wa ter c rr tents The EC of the saturated paste is the easiest to obta in fo llowed b the EC of extracts greater than SP followed by the EC of extracts less th ~

Other four-electrode configurations are frequently used as disclL by Burger (1992) Dobrin (1960) and Telford et al (1990) The influe of the interelectrode configuration and distance on ECa is reflected middot Eq10-6

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

geospatiaI ECo measurements (or any salinjty measurement technique that matter) The easiest approach is to run EC transects both OIW

between drip lines to capture the local-scale variation The roughn 5S of the soil surface can also influence spatial Eem

urements Geospatial EC measurements taken on a smooth field ur will be higher than the same fi eld with a rough surface from diskin~ l

is due to the fact that the disturbed disked soil acts as an insulated lac the conductance pathways thereby reducing its conductance Whtl1C ducting a geospatial E a survey of a field the entire field must ha ~ same surface roughness

EC

These factors if not taken into account when cond ucting an E vey will likely produce a banding effect For example if an Eeampun is conducted on a field that has areal differences in water content s ilp file temperature surface rouglme and surface geometry then band

I I such as those found in Fig 10-11 will resul t These bands reflect variations in soil moisture temperature roughness and surface gell try which must be uniform across a field to produce a reliable EC un

that can be used to djrect soil sampling to spatially characterize the dt bution of salinity

While field-based measurements of soil salinity ha e progr ~ _ greatly over the past decades they rema in limited to mapping soil salin i~

over a small number of fields in a single day Assessments of soil sa lin across entire landscapes and through time are therefore difficult al1t expensi e to conduct with field-based approaches alone R note sens instruments aboard airplanes or satelli tes routinely acquire mea5un

where EC ll25 C is the apparent soil electrical conductivity temperature co rected to a reference of 25 degC (dS m- I ) and r 1 r2 Rv and R2 are the d~middot tances in cm between the electrodes as shown in Fig 10-4 For the Wenlll array where a = rl = r 2 = Rl = R2 Eq 10-6 reduces to EC = 1592M F and 1592 a represents the cell constant (k)

A variety of four-electrode probes have been commercially developtl1 reflecting diverse applications Burial and insertion four-electrode pmbc are used for continuous monitoring of ECa and to measure soil prolr ECa respectively (Fig 10-5ab) These probes have volumes of measurc

3ment roughly the size of a football (ie about 2500 cm ) Bedding proiJ with small volumes of measurement of roughly 25 cm3 were used to mltshyitor EC in seed beds (Fig 10-5c) but these probes are no longer comm~r

cially available Only the Eijelkamp conductivity meter and probe art commercially available which is similar in use and basic d esign to thL insertion probe in Fig 1O-5b

Measuring ER is an invasive technique that requires good contact between the soil and the four electrodes inserted into the soil cons quently it produces less reliab~e measurements in dry or stony soils thar a noninvasive measurement such as EM Nevertheless ER has a flex ibilshyity that has proven advantageous for field application that is the depth and volume of measurement can be easily changed by altering the spacmiddot ing between the electrodes A distinct advantage of the ER approach j that the volume of measurement is determined by the spacing between the electrodes which makes a large volume of measurement possible for example a 1-m interelectrode spacing for a Wenner array results in a volmiddot ume of measurement of more than 3 m3

This large volume of measureshyment integrates the high level of local-scale variability often associat lt

with ECa measurements

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

Both R and EMI are rap id and reEable tech nologies f r the mea UI ment of ECn each with its advan tages and disadvantages The prim advantage of EMI over ER is that EMl is noninvasive so it can be used dry and stony soils that would not be amenable to invasive ER eq irshyment The disadvantage is that ECa measured with EMI is a dep~ weighted value that is nonlinear whereas ER provides an EC measu ment that is nearly linear with depth Mar specifically EMJ c ncentratl its measurement of conductance over the depth of penetration at shallo depths while ER is more uniform with depth Because f th lineari~

the response function of ER the EC for a discrete depth interval of oil ECv can be det mtined with the Wenner array by measuring the EC ~

successive la yers by increasing the in terelec trode spacing from nj 1 t(1 and using Eq 10-8 from Barnes (1952) for re istor in parallel

where aj is the interelectrode spacing which equals the depth of sam pling and a j - l is the p revious interelectrode spacing which equals th dep th of previous sampling Measu rements of ECa by ER and ffivfJ at th same location and over the same volume of meas urement are not compamiddot rable because of the nonlinearity of the response function with depth fur EM and the linearity of the response function for ER An advantage of ER over EMI is the ease of instrument calibra tion Calibrating the EM-31 and EM-38 is more involved then for ER equipment Howev f there is nIl

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

Independen t validation data Prediction errors for test data can be much larger than training errors

Multiple years of images Nonsoil factors can heavily influence reflectance in anyone year but will tend to average out over multiple years

Both R and EMI are rap id and reEable tech nologies f r the mea UI ment of ECn each with its advan tages and disadvantages The prim advantage of EMI over ER is that EMl is noninvasive so it can be used dry and stony soils that would not be amenable to invasive ER eq irshyment The disadvantage is that ECa measured with EMI is a dep~ weighted value that is nonlinear whereas ER provides an EC measu ment that is nearly linear with depth Mar specifically EMJ c ncentratl its measurement of conductance over the depth of penetration at shallo depths while ER is more uniform with depth Because f th lineari~

the response function of ER the EC for a discrete depth interval of oil ECv can be det mtined with the Wenner array by measuring the EC ~

where aj is the interelectrode spacing which equals the depth of sam pling and a j - l is the p revious interelectrode spacing which equals th dep th of previous sampling Measu rements of ECa by ER and ffivfJ at th same location and over the same volume of meas urement are not compamiddot rable because of the nonlinearity of the response function with depth fur EM and the linearity of the response function for ER An advantage of ER over EMI is the ease of instrument calibra tion Calibrating the EM-31 and EM-38 is more involved then for ER equipment Howev f there is nIl

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

the associated dominant soil property or properties measured b EC it each study

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

ECn in agriculture by identifying the complexities of the ECI1 measurel1~nt

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

detect small changes in ECa under representative soil condition 4 capability of obtaining continuous unattended measmements unci lack of a calibration requirement for soil water content measuremell many cases (Wraith 2002) Even so TDR has not been tbe choice for the measurement of salinity whether in the laboratory or In

field consequently it will not be discussed in detail Soil ECn has become one of the most reliable and frequently used

urements to characterize field variability for application to precision culture due to its ease of measu rement and reliability (Corwin and 2003) Although TOR has been demonstrated to compar closeh other accepted methods of ECn measurement (Heimovaara et al Mallan ts et a1 1996 Reece 1998 Spaans and Baker 1993) it is still nO ficiently simple robust or fas t enough for the general needs of soil salinity assessment (Rhoades et a1 1999b) Only ER and been adapted for the georeferenced measuremen t of EC at and larger (Rhoades et aL 1999ab)

SOIL-RELATED (EDAPlflC) FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EC MEASUREMENT

The earliest field applications of geophysical measurements of Eshysoil science involved the determination of salinity through the soil of arid zone soils (Cameron et aL 1981 Corwin and Rhoades 1982 de Jong et aL 1979 Halvorson and Rhoades 1976 Rhoades and 1981 Rhoades and Halvorson 1977 Williams and Baker 1982) it became apparent that the measurement of Ee in the field to infer salinity was more complicated than initially anticipated due to the plexity of current flow pathways arising from the complex interaction the conductiv properties influencing the Ca measurements and Irl the spatial heterogeneity of those conductive properties

The in terp retation of ECa measurement is not trivial because f complexity of current flow in the bulk soi l Numerous EC tudies lull been conducted that have revealed the site specificity and complexity geospatial ECn measurements with respect to the particula r propert properties influencing the ECn measurement at the study site able 1 (taken from Corwin and Lesch 2005a) is a compilation of ECn studie~

the associated dominant soil property or properties measured b EC it each study

The advantages of the ECn measuremen t are that it is rapid reliable ) easy to take which have made it an ideal field measur ment tool Ho ever because of the multiple pathways of conductance it is often diHk to interpret orwin and Lesch (2003) provided guidelines f r the U t

ECn in agriculture by identifying the complexities of the ECI1 measurel1~nt

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

ing soil salLnity at Geld cale requires a rapid reliab le easy metht taking geospatia l measurements The us of soil samples to m (Jshy

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

in a bed-fu rrow irrigated field it is probably best to take the EC urements in the bed Above all the Ee measurements must be con Ishyeither entirely in the furrow or entirely in the bed bullSurveys of drip-i rrigated fi elds are even more complicated than surveys of bed-furrow irrigated fields Drip irrigation produces (ltm

local- and field-scale three-dimensional patterns o f water content salin ity that are particularly difficult to spatially characteriz~

geospatiaI ECo measurements (or any salinjty measurement technique that matter) The easiest approach is to run EC transects both OIW

between drip lines to capture the local-scale variation The roughn 5S of the soil surface can also influence spatial Eem

urements Geospatial EC measurements taken on a smooth field ur will be higher than the same fi eld with a rough surface from diskin~ l

is due to the fact that the disturbed disked soil acts as an insulated lac the conductance pathways thereby reducing its conductance Whtl1C ducting a geospatial E a survey of a field the entire field must ha ~ same surface roughness

EC

These factors if not taken into account when cond ucting an E vey will likely produce a banding effect For example if an Eeampun is conducted on a field that has areal differences in water content s ilp file temperature surface rouglme and surface geometry then band

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

316 AGRICULTURAL SALINITY ASSESSME NT AND MANAGEMEI T

METHODS OF FIELD-SCALE SOIL SALINITY MEASUREMENT

Soil salinity is a dynamic soil property that is highly spatiall) temporally variable The dynamic nature of soil salinity makes mapF and monitoring of alinity a difficult challenge Mapping and m In

ing soil salLnity at Geld cale requires a rapid reliab le easy metht taking geospatia l measurements The us of soil samples to m (Jshy

salinity (eg ECCI ECl ECu Ee l s or ECp) at field scales is imprdl b cau e of the need for hundred nd even thousands of grid samThe u e of soil samples to measure alinity at field scales is only pn cal when sampling is di rected to minimize the number of samplt I

refl ect the range and variabili ty of salinity within the area of study n can be achieved usi ng easily measured spatial informa tion correlatlgtd soil salinity as a means of direc ting where to take the fewest silmF Two poten tial sources of correlated spatial informa tion used to dir where soi l samples should be taken to measure ECr are (1) visual observation and (2) geospatial measurements of ECn with mobile ER EMI equipment

Associated with visual crop observa tion but considered a distrr poten tial app roach is the use of multi- and hyperspectral imagery EI though the lise of remote imagery has tremendous potential at this p it is still restricted to research because the methodology has not bl

developed for general application to mapping and monitoring salinit present only the use of geospatial measurements of ECn can provide fbJ

abl accurate maps of salinity at field scales Even so remote ima~~ willlmquestionably playa fu ture role in mapping salini ty particul rl landscape scales

Visual Crop Observation

Visual crop observation is a quick method but it has the disadvanta~

that salinity development is d etected after crop dama ge ha OCCl1m~

consequently crop yield mus t be sacr ificed to locate areas of salinit development Furthermore decreases in crop yield are not necessari the consequence of only salt accumulation rops respond to a vari~1

of anthropogenic (eg irrigation uni formity farm equipment traifil edaphic (eg salinity water content texture OM) biological (eg dl~

ease nematodes) meteorological (eg precipitation humidity temper ture) and topographical (~ g slop elevation microrelief) factors an of which can cause yield reduction Because of the variety of fac tor influencing crop yield and qua li ty the use of visual crop observations assess soil salinity is not definitive and can be extremely misleading

The least desirable method to measure salinity disbibution in the fi I is visual observation because crop yields ar reduced to ob tain soil sa lirmiddot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

A user-friendly software package (ESAP) develop d b Lesch (2000) w hich uses a response-surface sampling d ign h proven particularly effective in delinea ting spatial distribution of s il from EC survey data (Corwin 2005 Corwin et a1 2003ab2006 and Lesch 2003 2005c) The ESAP software pack ge id ntifies tht locations for soil sample sites from the Ee survey data These si tl selected bas d on spatial statistics to reflect the observed spatial ity in Eea survey measuremen ts Gener lly 6 to 20 sites are depending on the level of variability of the ECn measurements for a The optimal locations of a minimal subset of EC17 survey ites Me middot

322 AGRICU LTURAL SALI NI TY ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMElT

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

A user-friendly software package (ESAP) develop d b Lesch (2000) w hich uses a response-surface sampling d ign h proven particularly effective in delinea ting spatial distribution of s il from EC survey data (Corwin 2005 Corwin et a1 2003ab2006 and Lesch 2003 2005c) The ESAP software pack ge id ntifies tht locations for soil sample sites from the Ee survey data These si tl selected bas d on spatial statistics to reflect the observed spatial ity in Eea survey measuremen ts Gener lly 6 to 20 sites are depending on the level of variability of the ECn measurements for a The optimal locations of a minimal subset of EC17 survey ites Me middot

These factors if not taken into account when cond ucting an E vey will likely produce a banding effect For example if an Eeampun is conducted on a field that has areal differences in water content s ilp file temperature surface rouglme and surface geometry then band

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

A user-friendly software package (ESAP) develop d b Lesch (2000) w hich uses a response-surface sampling d ign h proven particularly effective in delinea ting spatial distribution of s il from EC survey data (Corwin 2005 Corwin et a1 2003ab2006 and Lesch 2003 2005c) The ESAP software pack ge id ntifies tht locations for soil sample sites from the Ee survey data These si tl selected bas d on spatial statistics to reflect the observed spatial ity in Eea survey measuremen ts Gener lly 6 to 20 sites are depending on the level of variability of the ECn measurements for a The optimal locations of a minimal subset of EC17 survey ites Me middot

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

A user-friendly software package (ESAP) develop d b Lesch (2000) w hich uses a response-surface sampling d ign h proven particularly effective in delinea ting spatial distribution of s il from EC survey data (Corwin 2005 Corwin et a1 2003ab2006 and Lesch 2003 2005c) The ESAP software pack ge id ntifies tht locations for soil sample sites from the Ee survey data These si tl selected bas d on spatial statistics to reflect the observed spatial ity in Eea survey measuremen ts Gener lly 6 to 20 sites are depending on the level of variability of the ECn measurements for a The optimal locations of a minimal subset of EC17 survey ites Me middot

322 AGRICU LTURAL SALI NI TY ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMElT

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

322 AGRICU LTURAL SALI NI TY ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMElT

The p rediction-based sampling approach was introduced b I et al (1995b) This sampling approach attempts to optimize the of a regression modet tha t is minimize the mean squaT predic iOIl produced by the calibra tion function while simultaneously ensll rin~

the independent regression model residual error assump tion approximately valid Th is in turn allows an ordinary regression be used to predict soil property levels at all remaining (i e conductivity su rvey sites The basis for this samp ling approach di rectly from tradi tional response-surface sampiing methodolog and Draper 1987)

Ther are two main advantages to the response- urface approach a substantia l reduction in the numb r of sampl required for estirne ting a calibra tion function can be achieved in comparison tll traditional design-based sampling schemes Second this approach itself natura lly to the analysis of Ee data Indeed many typ of airborne- and or satellite-bas d remotely sensed data ar often p cifically because one expects these data to cor re late strongl

some parameter of interest (eg crop s tr S5 soil type soil 5alinilll the xact parameter estimates (associated with the calibration may still need to be determined via some type of s ite-specific design The response-surface approach explicitly optimizes this sit tion process

A user-friendly software package (ESAP) develop d b Lesch (2000) w hich uses a response-surface sampling d ign h proven particularly effective in delinea ting spatial distribution of s il from EC survey data (Corwin 2005 Corwin et a1 2003ab2006 and Lesch 2003 2005c) The ESAP software pack ge id ntifies tht locations for soil sample sites from the Ee survey data These si tl selected bas d on spatial statistics to reflect the observed spatial ity in Eea survey measuremen ts Gener lly 6 to 20 sites are depending on the level of variability of the ECn measurements for a The optimal locations of a minimal subset of EC17 survey ites Me middot

The presence or absence of beds and furrows is a significant factI ing a geospatial EC survey Measurements taken in furrows I I ill from measuremen ts taken in beds due to water flow and salt ililU

in a bed-fu rrow irrigated field it is probably best to take the EC urements in the bed Above all the Ee measurements must be con Ishyeither entirely in the furrow or entirely in the bed bullSurveys of drip-i rrigated fi elds are even more complicated than surveys of bed-furrow irrigated fields Drip irrigation produces (ltm

local- and field-scale three-dimensional patterns o f water content salin ity that are particularly difficult to spatially characteriz~

geospatiaI ECo measurements (or any salinjty measurement technique that matter) The easiest approach is to run EC transects both OIW

between drip lines to capture the local-scale variation The roughn 5S of the soil surface can also influence spatial Eem

urements Geospatial EC measurements taken on a smooth field ur will be higher than the same fi eld with a rough surface from diskin~ l

is due to the fact that the disturbed disked soil acts as an insulated lac the conductance pathways thereby reducing its conductance Whtl1C ducting a geospatial E a survey of a field the entire field must ha ~ same surface roughness

EC

These factors if not taken into account when cond ucting an E vey will likely produce a banding effect For example if an Eeampun is conducted on a field that has areal differences in water content s ilp file temperature surface rouglme and surface geometry then band

I I such as those found in Fig 10-11 will resul t These bands reflect variations in soil moisture temperature roughness and surface gell try which must be uniform across a field to produce a reliable EC un

that can be used to djrect soil sampling to spatially characterize the dt bution of salinity

M uch of the work on remote sensing of salini ty has been done irt I two m jor agricultural regions affected by s lini ty the irrigated terns of India and Pakistan and the rain-fed systems of Australia bull work re lied heavily on visual interpre tation of aerial p ho tos or LJnd satellite images Verma et al (1994) observed that r mote indicatorshycanop y biomass [Landsat red and near-infrared (NlR) reflec tancci ll ing the peak of the cropping season in the Indo-Gangetic Plain cessfull y distinguished barren saline soils from healthy CIOP land r 1I

Overall no single remote sensing approach has proven parti effective for mapping salinity at low to moderate 1 v Thertttl most successful approaches are likely to combine information fr mJ ety of sources including multiple rem ote sensing measmes as wlll eral nonremote indicators such as landscape position soil t~ p~

topography (Furby et at 1995 Mettem icht 2001 Tweed et aL 2rMr with any spatial p rediction problem the use of ind ependent validlt data will also be critical to evaluating and improving salinit e tin For example simply extrapolating local empirical relationship 1

mate regional tota ls (Madrigal et a1 2003) should be avoided A F et a1 (1995) demonstrate reserving a Significant fraction (in their half) of sites for ind pendent validation can help to identify shortconl~

based on soil reflectance or from pea of growing season for methods ba cd on crop canopy reflectance

Randomly selec ted A bias of training sites toward highshytraining sites salinity fields will likely re ult in an

Independen t validation data Prediction errors for test data can be much larger than training errors

Multiple years of images Nonsoil factors can heavily influence reflectance in anyone year but will tend to average out over multiple years
